FA consults Dickov on spit claims

THE Football Association have written to Blackburn striker Paul Dickov after allegations David Sommeil spat at him.

Sommeil, the Manchester City right-back, was reported to have spat in Dickov’s face during the first half of the 2-0 defeat to Rovers at Ewood Park on Sunday.

But there is no video evidence of an incident described by Blackburn manager Mark Hughes as “unsavoury”.
